barack obama won this election by a 50 to 48% margin. that may go up to around 58, 48 when the votes from california come in and california last time took five weeks to count its votes. the count them in five hours and brazil i'm not sure why california is so much less technologically advanced but there we are so all these figures are necessarily a little incomplete as they apply to the nation and there's other states with votes still out, too. it appears that obama will get a huge electoral advantage out of this relatively narrow popular vote margin. assuming that he carries florida where he is in the current towns ahead in the miami-dade county people are this year counting votes without the assistance of many republican and democratic lawyers. the electoral vote is 332 to 206. that was a margin in 2004 and only got 286 votes. obama was slightly less. it appears it gets 3:32. i think that there is a certain structural demographic advantage over democrats in the electoral college in this era. the democratic voters tend to be clustered i

former president bill clinton said we're in an economic recession, and earlier this week before the obama campaign got to him, he was for temporarily extend current tax rates. yesterday the democratic senate budget committee chairman came out and said he was for temporarily extending current tax rates. and i would remind everyone it was the president himself in december of 2010 who said you don't raise taxes in a down economy. well, the economy is slower now than it was when he last agreed with us to extend current tax law back in december of 2010. in fact, the rate of growth in our economy is slower now than it was in december 2010 when the president agreed with us that at that point we ought to do a two-year extension of the current tax rates. slower growth now than then. the same arguments apply now. this is the time to prevent this uncertainty and the largest tax increase in american history, right in the middle of a very, very fragile economy. it really doesn't make any sense, mr. president, to do otherwise. let's extend all of the current tax relief right now before the election. le

for a couple of weeks. it's not enough money. that means we're going -- they have to tax the middle class. so at the end of obama's term, we have to raise the taxes on the middle class and we're going to have to take money from the poor. >> okay. albert in east chicago, indiana. democratic caller. >> caller: i have to highly disagree with the gentleman that just called. i look at how much money they spent in advertising for the campaign just this last two years, they could have invested that toward the deficit and it would have been the deficit by far. ..

but he also was careful not to disparage obama. in fact, just weeks before the 2008 presidential election, he gave a very interesting foreign policy speech in which he talked about the obama and mccain approaches to foreign policy. it was a very even minded speech in which he was, praising both for certain things and criticizing for both things -- it's the sort of thing that you hope that public officials will do. you look at something and you call it straight. but even then there were criticisms from republicans who felt that he was not sufficiently critical of obama. since barack obama was elected, and came to office in 2009, i think lugar has tried to work with the president when he could. i think, you know, despite campaign rhetoric that we hear in indiana, i think that senator lugar is neither barack obama's best friend or his worst critic. .. senator lugar has forgotten about foreign policy, so the bush administration had this incredible resource, and why they did not draw on him more frequently and more often is astonishing
